TORSO
This massage video covers the hips, back, belly, shoulders & neck. Learn to alleviate pain with 53 highly effective neuromuscular techniques! Get a 3-dimensional view of the muscles, which have been modeled out of clay and feature computer generated trigger point referral overlays.
This great video not only covers neuromuscular therapy, but includes functional assessment work, so you know where to work, and how. Along with range of motion and resistive tests, you will learn basic postural evaluation techniques. As part of a comprehensive treatment protocol, discover how to work on the tendons, ligaments and muscles with effective neuromuscular and deep tissue strokes. Finally complete the work with stretches.
This video along with The Extremities will prepare you to handle the most common injuries in every joint of the body. Used as support for a 100 hour neuromuscular and functional assessment course, this video is packed with useful, easy to understand information that you can start applying to your practice right away.
Includes 53 deep tissue massage techniques, 31 muscles and 29 trigger points. Sean Riehl shows the assessment of the hips in terms of anterior/posterior rotation and high/low hip movements, and how these movement affect the lower back pain. Also covered are the adductors (for groin pulls), and the other hip muscles that control the internal and external rotation of the femur (like the piriformis that can cause sciatic nerve impingement). The lower back section discusses the most important muscles of lower back pain and their referral patterns, as well as how to evaluate for spinal mobility to help pinpoint pain. The neck section shows evaluation of the four ranges of motion and how to alleviate restriction. How to work on the anterior cervical vertebrae by pushing aside the trachea and touching the front of the cervical spine is also shown- great for whiplash sufferers. The deep tissue massage work on the scalenes will help people who have arm pain that comes from this area.
Comes with a 17 page booklet that mirrors the techniques shown in the video.

EXTREMITIES
This DVD based program covers the rotator cuff, elbow, wrist, fingers, thumb, ankle & knee! Learn to alleviate pain with 47 highly effective neuromuscular techniques! Get a 3-dimensional view of the muscles, which have been modeled out of clay and feature computer generated trigger point referral overlays.
Not only does it cover neuromuscular therapy (NMT), but includes functional assessment work, so you know where to work, and how. Along with range of motion and resistive tests, you will learn basic postural evaluation techniques. As part of a comprehensive treatment protocol, discover how to work on the tendons, ligaments and muscles with effective neuromuscular and deep tissue strokes. Finally complete the work with stretches.
Used in conjunction with The Torso DVD Program, this DVD will prepare you to handle the most common injuries in every joint of the body. Used as support for a 100 hour neuromuscular and functional assessment course, this video is packed with useful, easy to understand information that you can start applying to your practice right away.
Includes 47 techniques, 30 muscles and 22 trigger points.In the lower limb section Sean Riehl deals with sprained ankles, Achilles tendonitis, knee evaluation, anterior and posterior cruciate ligament strain, and anterior and posterior knee pain. Then he shows a rotator cuff evaluation (both resisted testing and range of motion tests), muscle and tendon work on the rotator cuff muscles, evaluation and treatment of tennis and golfers elbow. The forearm section covers the evaluation and treatment of the finger, thumb and wrist muscles, including causes of carpal tunnel syndrome and ligament strain vs. muscle/tendon injuries. This video takes the complicated subject of the forearm and makes it understandable. With these techniques shown in this video, you should be well equipped to assess and perform quality work on any of these joints.
Comes with a 22 page booklet that mirrors the techniques shown in the video - contained on the DVD for viewing and printing.
